I start work again on Friday !
on: March 30, 2011, 11:39:22 PM
I had to have a job interview today for my own job  :( . For the last two years I've had a Seasonal job for the Broads Authority http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/index.html  But due to government cutbacks and budgets being slashed the whole Authority had to be re-structured and I ended up having to have an interview for my old job . Its all good news and I start Friday  :D but I've had this uncertainty hanging over my head since I finished last season back in November . Usually you just get invited back each year but due to the changes it was all very much up in the air and uncertain . This has put a huge amount of stress on myself as its a job I love and enjoy so much . I get to have a good reason to carry locking blades  :D and theres lots of multitool usage on a daily basis  :D Also I'll have more funds available  >:D
 
P.S Don't get the above confused with my Volunteer Coastguard work which ticks along all year round .

 Tails from the River bank to follow shortly  ;)
